Full disclosure, I am an affiliate with Bluehost, but I recommend them because I've had a good experience with them. This is my sign up link if you're interested - https://www.bluehost.com/track/oursmallhours/



I love Bluehost because their support is easy to access via chat and they've always been able to solve any issues that arise.



They helped me move from Blogger to Wordpress. They helped me get SSL setup. They've helped me a couple of times when I've done something to break my site and it really wasn't their problem to deal with, but they fixed it anyway.



For Wordpress info I like WPBeginner. They have lots of great info.



I do have Bluehost's Wordpress optimized hosting and I love it, but it is one of their more expensive plans.



As far as niche goes, my website started out with several different topics and it was too much. I've narrowed it to four topics and I know who my target reader is. Still four topics is a lot for one blog.



If I didn't have nearly eight years of content I'd break it up into four websites and start fresh.



For all of those other topics I want to write about or monetize I've created new domains. (I have over 20 domains. So far. #domainhoarder) I doubt I'll ever create another website that covers more than one topic.



A popular blog quote is "The riches are in the niches." (Although that's not how I pronounce niche. )



Let me know if you have any questions. I could talk about this all day. I mean, clearly, right?

I cannot overemphasize what a terrible experience I had with BlueHost

I appreciate your input! I don’t know if I want to monetize I guess I need to do some research about this but I like being able to blog about anything that’s relevant to me
